  1. Earlier in a 45 person $5 SnG, I coughed up about 9,000 in chips and went from 2nd to out in about 6 hands. These are the three hands that led to my demise, was I playing too agressive preflop?

  2. yes you raised too much with KK pre flop. By the way bad beats go in a different spot
  3. While I agree that the first hand with the kings qualifies as a bad beat, I was actually asking for comments/advice on the series of three hands. I'd hardly say that losing with AQ to 44 and 109s to AKs are bad beats.

  7. Ok, I get it. Jesus what is it with people on this board? I'm not complaining about a beat, I'm asking if I should have played this series of hands differently? I know that kings lose to pocket fives sometimes, I just want to know if people think I'm pushing all in too much preflop or not. Pretty simple really, but I guess people have more time to post links to the bad beat forum rather than just provide a bit of advice.

  9. You played fine. Could maybe have folded the last hand, but usually it's a good push. Don't wanna get blinded down too much. I think the reason ppl just say "<--- Bad Beat section" is that your play here is obv, and you should be the huge chipleader instead of out as a course of these hands, and this is just standard bad luck after making good plays.

    Good luck.

    Oh, btw:

    BAD BEAT SECTION! :-p
  10. U got a guy to put all his chips in the middle as a 80% dog and you lost a flop with A Q, can't be result orientated on that one..... 10 9 hand not a good play, but I have no problem with the first 2 hands
